1/18-1/22

First and Second Grade would like to celebrate our 100^th day next Friday, January 22. We would like each student to bring $5.00 by Tuesday, January 18, to cover the costs of snacks and crafts. Also, we would love for the students to dress up like they are 100 years old on Friday. We are looking forward to a very fun day!

Tests this week:

Wednesday: Spelling List 16

Thursday: Math

Friday: Bible Psalm 1:4-5

Spirit Week: January 25-29

The menu has changed for the week of January 25. We will be having Spirit Week that week, and our lunches will be themed for each day.

Spirit week themes for each day:

Monday-Flannel Day

Tuesday-Beach Day

Wednesday-Theme Verse Day

Thursday-International Day

Friday-School Color Day

Theme Verse: II Chronicles 20:15 ..."Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's."

Also, we will be doing a "Battle of the Grades" song for a Lip Sync competition. We will be doing "I Will Follow Him" from the movie Sister Act. Please encourage the students practice this song as much as possible.

Second Grade Discipline Policy

We have a discipline chart that the students will climb if the correct behavior is being followed or recline if the incorrect behavior is being displayed. Students will chart their color everyday on a calendar that stays in their take home folder. Our classroom rules follows 1 Cor. 13:4-8.

Homework Policy

In second grade homework is typically limited to Reading, Spelling, and Bible. However if classwork is not completed by the end of the day, it must be completed at home for homework. It is important for students to practice math facts occasionally. Also, if a child chooses incorrect classroom behavior and fails to complete assigned work during class, these pages may also be sent home for completion and must be returned the next school day.

In Reading, students will be expected to read 3 nights a week and fill out a Reading log. There may be an occasional homework quiz given in class to test on comprehension.

In spelling, a new list of words is assigned every Wednesday. Students will practice the words in class on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday however, the parent(s) and student may decide upon their own method for studying words at home to better prepare for weekly tests. A pre-test is given on Tuesdays. Spelling tests are given on Wednesdays. Students may complete bonus work to be counted toward their test. Only 5 bonus points will be counted toward each test. **If a test is missed on Wednesday, due to an absence or snow day, it will be given the next day students are in school.

In the event a student fails to return his or her homework to school the following measures may be taken:

1. Complete the assignment during recess

2. Complete the assignment during an extracurricular class

3. Complete the assignment in class, but with additional work given (Example: write spelling words two times instead of one)

4. A parent/teacher conference

5. After school detention (extreme circumstance)

Attendance policy:

Please refer to page 6 and 7 of the Student Handbook. Also, students will be counted absent if they leave before 1:30 p.m. and tardy if they leave after 1:30 p.m.

Student of the Week:
Monday: 1 picture to Hang in the Hallway
Tuesday: Favorite Story Book for me to read
Wednesday: Favorite Toy
Thursday: Favorite Place to Visit (3 pictures)
Friday: Favorite Snack to Share with the class
